Hello ladies!
Once again we had a nice Zone meeting. Supper was good even though
no dessert. I was too tired to
complain about that!
Lots of good information. Barb was there and looking good. They again
gave us money from LCIF for the
flood victims. If anyone has two more people in mind please let
me know. Can everyone check their
calendars so we can sign up for Mid- winter? Sue and I are going
to stay overnight at the hotel if anyone
else is interested. I suppose we should call the hotel soon for
that. Don’t forget our December meeting is
early in the month.
See you November 26th!
Tracy Braaten, your President
